Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 58
“Xander, why are you doing this to me?” I asked with all the annoyance I felt. “If you ever had even a shred of affection for me, you would stop torturing me in this way. Why can’t you leave me alone?”“Selene, I love you.” He wiped my face with his sleeve before I knew I was crying. “I love you so much that it hurts. I love you so much that I cannot even think to let you go. Why is this hard for you to believe?”“How can you ask me that?” I snapped at him. “You found your mate and you didn’t reject her. Doesn’t that mean you’ve chosen to be with her?” My voice was loud and choked with emotions. “Look, I don’t blame you for finding your destiny. It’s a happy thing but stop trying to fool me.”“It’s not that I won’t reject her,” he shouted back, “It is that I cannot reject her but does that negate what I feel for you? Does it invalidate my feelings?”“Stop lying to me!” It became a screaming match. “What do you mean you cannot reject her?”“She is too weak. I don’t want her to die.”I

I was scared. My feelings for Xander had reached a dangerous level. I realized that after I came off the high of mixing fluids with him. Even though I knew better than to hold on, I was not ready to let go. The last shreds of my resolve had melted away the moment his lips touched mine and as I lay in his embrace, I was over the moon. It made me realize that I was not ready to let him go. Against my better judgment, I wanted to hold on to him. I wanted to fight for him despite knowing he was not mine to fight for. As we lay pressed up against each other, his arm around my shoulders and his fingers absentmindedly playing with my nipples, I felt happier than I had all week.“You are mine, Selene,” he muttered. “Stop talking or even thinking of mating with someone else. It drives me crazy.”“Do you know how I feel knowing you already met someone else?” I shuffled closer to him to absorb more of his body’s heat. “Even though you met someone else, my heart still skips a beat when you say I’

“I didn’t do anything.” I immediately dropped my hand to my side as Xander walked up to us.“It’s true, she didn’t do anything,” Lily backed me up with a tight smile. “My stomach just suddenly hurt and she was trying to help me.”“Did I ever say she did anything?” His tone was far from friendly as he sneered at Lily. “I am simply asking what you two were talking about. Since when were you friends?”“Ah, Selene said she cannot be my friend so we have settled on being acquaintances.”“That’s right,” I responded while feeling awkward.I had done nothing wrong yet I stood there feeling guilty. The air around them was tense and unpleasant. Lily seemed to be shuffling on her feet in discomfort but Xander wasn’t paying her any attention.“When I told you not to show yourself in front of me, I meant it.” He turned to her. “Don’t make me do something you would regret.” He turned back to me and interlaced our fingers. “Let’s go.”The tension got worse and I felt even guiltier. Turning back to L

XANDER’S POVFrom the start, I felt something was off about the proposal these men brought to us but my father was more than ecstatic about this deal so I was told to look at it with a favorable eye. It was too good to be true and anything too good to be true was most likely not true. I had been listening to them yap on and on about how big of a breakthrough this would be for my pack but I could not pinpoint what was wrong. Thanks to Selene, I now had a valid reason to further investigate these people.“You are insane,” Ethan, who had stopped talking to me since I found my mate and could not be threatened to stay away from Selene, said once the meeting was over and the other party left. “How can you throw away such a great opportunity? What if they get offended and no longer want to work with us? Have you considered how your father would react? He was looking forward to this deal!”Ethan was a perfectionist. When he planned things, he hated for them to go anyway aside from how he had

Oh, to go back to the days when my biggest problem was how to avoid the male lead so I did not end up being killed. Now, my biggest concern was increasing the time I spent with said male lead. I did not see him nearly as often as I would like as we were both busy, especially him. The time I got to spend with Xander was no longer enough.“Urgh, I miss Xander,” I said as I stirred my hot chocolate drink. “Uhh, little miss lover girl,” Bella laughed at me. “After swearing up and down that you no longer wanted him, look at you acting all whipped. If you miss him then you should go see him. Wear something sexy and find your way to his room.”I choked on my beverage.“What? You’re acting like the two of you haven’t done it. Xander’s a whore so there’s no way he wouldn’t have had you pinned down in seven different…”“Dear goddess, Bella, we’re in public!” I slapped a hand over her mouth when she continued to spew obscene words with a straight face.“So? There are no kids here so it’s fine.”
Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 63
LILY’S POVI found my mate. He was exactly the kind of man I had hoped and prayed for yet he did not spare me a glance when he told me point blank that he did not want to be with me. It was okay though. I knew a man like him was too good for me. He was someone I could be with only in my dreams. It was sad but that was my reality.I was born to a mother who never knew my father and one day, my mother ran from the pack with her new lover after stealing a huge chunk of the pack’s resources. There was a chase down to recover the things she stole and my mother died in the process. Ever since then, I had only the pack to call my family and they didn’t like me very much. I was the daughter of a promiscuous woman who was also a thief.No one paid attention to me as a child and as I started to grow into a teen, the nonchalance I received turned to clear hatred. It became full-fledged as I entered adulthood. At first, I thought I was not likable because of my personality so I tried to be a bi

I became friends with Lily. It was inevitable that in my guilt, I made way for her and for some reason, she desperately wanted to be my friend. No matter how much I asked why, she just said I was cool and she would be honoured to be my friend. I assumed she was one of the many fan girls the original Selene had in her high school so I decided to indulge her. After stealing her man, indulging her was the least I could do. “Does this look good on me?” She sashayed out in a red dress that was tight in all the right places and not at all meant for this weather. She was shivering but tried to hide it. “Is it - it’s not really your style, is it?” I asked as she twirled. It was something that did not fit her naïve, innocent girl image. Now, she looked like a seductress and she even struck a pose to match. I was the last person who would corrupt the innocent girl so I shook my head. “You don’t like it?” She pouted, going back to default mode. “You looked at it once we came in so I know
Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 65
“Logan and Lily seem to be friends,” I told Xander as we cuddled in my bed that night. “I’m worried that he’ll influence her negatively.”Logan was the final villain in this novel, the one who could not stand Xander’s success and thus joined hands with the stupid Selene to bring him down. Obviously, they failed but it was best to be wary of Logan now.“Since when were you close to Lily?” He asked, snaking his hand under my shirt. “All you talk about these days is Lily this and Lily that.”“Yeah, we decided to be friends,” I said. “She’s a nice girl.” It felt wrong to say that to him. It was as if I was selling her to him and trying to get him to like her.“She’s not the kind of girl you’d normally be friends with,” he said. “Why are you friends with her?”“She’s a nice girl.” It was impossible to tell him the real reason so I went for an excuse. “She really likes me and she’s not bad to hang out with.”“I hope those are your true reasons.”He let it go as he kissed down my neck. I was

Surrounded by Wolves Epilogue
Alphas from all around the world filled the banquet hall making the atmosphere chockful of power. It was no wonder I hadn’t felt even the slightest bit of intimidation after entering this place that reeked of power. I was the Luna here. They were on my land. Grace puffed in satisfaction at that realization.“You did it.” Alpha Liam’s eyes shone with satisfaction as he stared at me. “I knew the goddess would not leave my son to be with an omega. She loves us too much for that.”Xander took a step to block his father’s gaze from me. It was subtle but it was also very obvious because one moment, I could see Alpha Liam’s gaze on me and in the next, I could only see Xander’s back. Alpha Liam laughed at that gesture.“There is the possessiveness of an Alpha,” he said. “Ah, but to think your father would covet your mate. That’s a bit embarrassing, isn’t it?”“Stop looking at her,” Xander growled back.I couldn’t see Alpha Liam thanks to Xander blocking me but I could see his hands as he raise

Even before I opened my eyes, I knew he was staring at me. I could feel his gaze on my face and as my eyes twitched, I wanted to continue to pretend to be asleep.I did it. I opened my mouth and said all the things that had weighed me down. Rather than feeling relieved, I felt guilty. Who would have known that my story would make Xander cry?I thought he’d not believe me, and was even prepared to brush everything off as a joke. What I had not been prepared for was for him to hold me, crying and apologizing. The past was the past and in a sense, didn’t happen. Why did he have to feel so guilty that he’d executed a traitor and gotten with his destined mate?‘That’s why you didn’t want anything to do with me. You were so scared and you were carrying it all alone. You were so scared of the monster that took your life but I didn’t let you be even when you told me to. Even when Lily showed up, you must have been in pain. Y

Something dangerous was bound to happen when meeting up with the bitter ex-mate. I didn’t come here unprepared and wasn’t even surprised when she pulled a gun on me – no, actually, I was a bit surprised. I had expected her to pull a knife or to start attacking me with her fists. I hadn’t really thought a girl like Lily had it in her to pull out a gun and threaten to shoot me.“You should have left him for me.” Her hands were shaking as she held the gun. “You should have had the decency to leave him for me. If you thought of me as a friend for even a second, you should never have been with him. You always looked down on me, didn’t you? You thought I wasn’t good enough but neither are you!” She was shouting, her hands vibrating.I watched her for the right time to disarm her. I wasn’t even sure she knew how to use that gun and I wasn’t about to wait to find out. This bitch wasn’t allowed

“Do you no longer want my son?” Alpha Liam asked and I could only gawk at him.“What do you mean?”“I know how long he thirsted for you while we were at war. I had expected that the first thing he would do when we got back was to mark you but there’s no mark and I know it’s not because he doesn’t want to.”“You can’t just go around asking questions like that,” I said, red in the face. “And aren’t you too invested in his – his extracurricular life?”“I’m only after the future of this pack and I’m looking forward to having grandchildren as well.”“A – Alpha Liam!” I screamed in horror. “You can’t – you can’t say that to a nineteen-year-old!”“Is that so?” He looked flabbergasted. “I said something wrong?”“Xander and I are young!

“Hey.”I dropped my bag and flew into Xander’s arms. He chuckled as he caught me, twirling me in the air.“I missed you too.” He muttered against my neck as I clung to him.“Are we invisible or what?” I heard Ethan’s voice from behind him.I raised my head and saw Ethan and my father standing behind Xander. I hadn’t even seen them. My attention had been entirely on Xander alone. Seeing him before me after so long, I just wanted to bask in his scent. I wanted the world to fade away and leave just the two of us. I’d missed him more than words could express but I’d also missed my brother and father.I got down from Xander’s body with a little difficulty as he held on to me, unwilling to let me go. When he finally left me, I rushed to my brother and father, pulling them into a hug. My father trembled as he held me. I held back tears.These were the longest months of my life. Even when I lost my memories and forgot myself, even when I first opened my eyes as Selene after being Jane, even w

“Selene, what are you doing here? No, why do you look like that? Is that blood on your face!?” My mother was almost hysterical when she saw me.Her hands wiped blood from my face. Panic reflected in her gaze and it shook her hands.“When did you return? How did you – what happened?”As she bombarded me with questions, I had no chance to explain what had happened before she broke down in tears, hugging me to herself. My mother was not one to be emotional but the stress and tension from all this must have gotten to her. She cried as she held me.The other women she had been leisurely chatting with came to comfort her, one of them patting my back. It took a while before she let me go and allowed me to explain what had happened.Warriors were sent to the house and my mother started to cry again. It was one of her friends that explained the situation to me.“She left the house a few days ago,” the woman said. “We received threats from the Blood Moon pack and they seemed to be aimed at her

It had become my habit to pace my room. Every time I felt nervous, I paced and I was nervous a lot. The information I got was that everything was going well. There were a lot of casualties but the Blood Moon pack suffered the worst hit. It had been a month already and despite my protests, I had no choice but to return to school. I had only seen Xander a couple of times before resumption but now that I was so far away, I never saw him.Even the college atmosphere was tense. With a lot of wolves from Silver Moon and Blood Moon here, there was a certain tension in the air. Outbursts here and there, people giving backhanded comments to strangers just because they figured out they were from rival packs. No one told me but either Xander or my father had assigned bodyguards to me. They followed me at a distance every day and even Seth had noticed.I was currently pacing my little dorm room which now felt wide without Xander in it. We had scheduled calls that helped reassure me that everythin

XANDER’S POVIt was clear that Blood Moon was planning an invasion so it made sense for us to attack first rather than let them come at us and destroy our home. On their land, they would have a greater advantage but on our land, we would be risking everything – our homes included. Selene thought it was best to fight a proxy war but now, all I wanted was to fight on Blood Moon land because I would soon call that land mine.How dare they.How dare they step out of line? How dare Logan target Selene? If I hadn’t been in the car with her that night, things may have escalated as he planned. How dare they look at her and think they could mess with her? How dare they look down on me by trying to abduct my woman? How dare Logan covet my land and my woman. He was a glutton hungry for retribution.Blood Moon had started the attack this morning. Bright and early, I received news that the borders on a completely different side from Blood Moon had been tampered with. They could not breach the bord

The air in the pack was tense the next day. Blood Moon had shown hostility to Silver Moon and now, a war was no longer brewing. It was about to be served. The atmosphere was thick with tension as people whispered under their breaths, waiting for what next was to happen. Even the young children who didn’t know anything were looking left and right as they walked with their parents, their underdeveloped senses already catching on to the disturbance in the atmosphere.“We should strike first,” I said to Alpha Liam. “Don’t let them bring the battle to Silver Moon. We will be losing too much.”I always wanted the battle to pass without bloodshed but it was clear that it was inevitable. Blood Moon had it out for us. The age-long wound between our packs had finally festered to the point where it could not be ignored anymore. The limb had to be cut off.“We should annex the pack,” Xander said. “We can’t continue to live with the threat of such a mediocre pack. Let’s wipe them out once and for
